84 Formula 272 04-16-2013 01:31 PM

I know that's right, unfortunately you have to take it back to have it fixed right the second time and pointing out the unprofessional product received hopefully will get mor attention to detail!! ( the squeaky wheel gets the oil ) I hope!! It's sad that people just don't care anymore!!!!!

Who did the work on your upholstery ?
Where are you at loto ?

84 Formula 272 04-16-2013 08:10 PM

Straight line canvas

84 Formula 272 04-16-2013 08:14 PM

The Bimini top was excellent !! Upholstery was not good!

84 Formula 272 04-16-2013 08:16 PM

Oh we are renting a slip at Formula marina ! Where are you located?

Donzi Dude 04-16-2013 09:08 PM

We have all our work done by advance canvas in Laurie they do really good work.
We are at the 45 mile marker not far from Big Dicks

84 Formula 272 04-17-2013 06:59 AM

I've been to big dicks ! My friends shot the minnow !!! I'm not into shots. Lol

84 Formula 272 04-17-2013 07:04 AM

We wil be down again the week following the 4th of July and for the shoot out and labor day weekend . That's my 50th birthday weekend! Wow never wrote that down before!! Lol

Donzi Dude 04-17-2013 03:04 PM

Maybe we will see you around sometime. I think I shot a minnow not really sure.
One good thing about hitting 50 is your kids are old enough to take care of driving the boat and you don't have to worry about water patrol or worse

84 Formula 272 04-17-2013 10:35 PM

Ya that would be cool ! I would like to go on the dam to dam run!!

Donzi Dude 04-18-2013 06:35 AM

We were going on the Dan to dam but we remembered that we have a wedding to go to.
So much for that looking foward to the harbor hop

84 Formula 272 04-22-2013 08:09 PM

Had a great weekend down at LOTO weather was pretty cool but hey I got to put the boat on the water finally!!!!
We had her wide open once. No wind and about 58 degrees just a slight ripple on the water 93 octane fuel and just a little less than half a tank of fuel. Props are still Quicksilver 23p SS 3 blade cleavers. We hit 63mph on gps at 4300 rpm!! I think that's about all she is gonna do unless we make a run sometime with less fuel on board!!
70mph would be fun some day!! But I'm happy with her for now!!
We got a couple of really good pictures I'll try to get posted!! And dropped her of to get the vinyl fixed again!!! I sure hope it's right this time!!!

84 Formula 272 04-28-2013 09:51 AM

Well I picked up my boat after the second attempt of redoing the upholstery and if it would have been done like this the first time I wouldn't have been excited about it but it's just a very average job!!! And I'm still out almost $400 for gas on return trips to have it fixed!!! They said this didn't happen regularly!!! I told them it shouldn't ever happen!!! They didn't really seem to care!!! This was at Straight line canvas at LOTO!!! Now they have changed thier name to Lake Plus Canvas!! Be careful using this establishment for something you want to be proud of!!!
